The Jumalauta Party 2026 website is now open. Namaste! Go to the tickets section to register if you haven't yet.
Remember to keep an eye on the website and our official channels to get all the latest information about Jumalauta Party.
The party will be held in Aulanko, Hämeenlinna at Aulangon Suuri Huvila.
The party place will have your usual Finnish demoparty features, like a few computer places (no reservations - first come, first served), some sleeping places (see more info under "Accommodation"), sauna, and palju. There is also a small, but fairly well-equipped, kitchen with a couple of fridges (reserved mainly for your perishable food, not beer).
You can sleep at the party place if you want, but the number of sleeping places is limited. The party place has a few shared bedrooms with 3-5 beds (about 25 beds total). There are also some sofas available in the general party area and room for tents outside (although the ground is quite uneven). Scandic Aulanko hotel is pretty close to the party place, only about 2.5km away, and Hämeenlinna city center with even more hotels is not that far.
If you are sleeping at the party place, bring your own bedding. That's mandatory and won't be provided by the organizers.
A Twitch stream will be available when there is something to stream. The internet connection at the party place is not that great, so the stream quality might not be optimal.
We will stream all the compos. We might also stream some of the other scheduled programme. See party timetable for times.
We want Jumalauta Party to be a safe event where every visitor is allowed to be themselves. We expect everyone to act responsibly and with respect toward each other. Here are some principles and guidelines we expect everyone to follow:
We're all here to have a good time and other demosceners are what make demoparties great, so don't be a dick.
If you encounter or witness any inappropriate behavior, intervene or let the organizers know (you can also contact the organizers privately in Telegram or Discord), so we can take action. Repeat offenders may be ejected from the party and banned from any future events if they fail to correct their behavior.
All platforms allowed, but if your entry doesn't run on Windows, please provide a video capture.
No rules, anything* goes, be it video, live performance, etc.
*) Finnish laws may apply
